A 5005 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DHS and other appropriate state agencies to disseminate information on transportation options for persons with developmental disabilities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services and other state agencies that serve people with developmental disabilities to provide clear, accessible information about transportation options. Specifically, these agencies must create easy-to-understand pamphlets or materials (including details on services like the Access Link paratransit system) and post them on their websites with relevant links. The materials must include contact information, eligibility requirements, and whether caregivers can accompany individuals for each transportation service. This directly helps individuals with developmental disabilities and their families navigate available transit options more effectively.
